I will follow Jeff’s advice…
Pierre, your vote is the only one which counts. Build what you want. Nothing kills the mojo like a half-completed model you really don’t want to finish.
Then this is what I want following Jeff’s advice…
I will go with both these kits… Two infamous WW II dive bombers.
Aichi Type 99…
And Ju 87G-1 for my brother whose birthday is next January.
I will start first with the Aichi Type 99 and read what other modelers have to say about it.

Next time…?
When I opened the box I found out that the figurine had fused with the tailplane!
A little delicate surgery was needed using a razor saw…
A little filing…
Rescribing lost details…
Then I could not wait and I started building…
Glad you got the figure off the wing!! If anyone could do that surgery with absolute success – it’s you!

I had no choice to do this unless I wanted to show a pilot having a nap on the tailplane…
